No, nerdy is the right word. The right word for trekkies et al, is geeky.

that would be about right.

Lets hear it for nerds, then.

Actually Imran has a point. Nerdy as it applies to trekkies, grognards, DnDers, Civers, etc doesnt really fit the broad mass of preadolescent and adolescent and arguably post-adoloscent males who go in for FPS's, console games, GTA, etc in a big way. Yet socially well adjusted, completely normal, well-rounded, etc hardly seems to fit either (at least not more so than for the nerdier pastimes). What word is applicable then??

I would venture a guess but I dont want to risk the offense of being wrong. So, do share, who is that??

The guilty parties know who they are. Oh and they ARE damm guilty too

it's not crap! It's cool if you're into comic books. I want a GL ring. Hal Jordan Rules
ya, my compy is too ****ty for many games.

[Dis]

I don't have any of that crap.

I just buy computer games. The only accessories I might be would be a standard controller, or perhaps a flight-sim type controller.

Did anyone buy a Kiligon dictionary?

did you see trekkies? There is a Klingon school! www.kli.org costs a lot. My friend Nick thought about doing it despite the cost.
and also, I think you forgot everything comic book related. Does anyone buy, and collect comic books? Have more than 1 subscription? Bought any piece of a hero's costume ( cyclpos's visro, green lantern's ring, captain america's shield, Elektra's sai, i guess eve nthose really expensive lightsabre replicas count) of of the internet?

"star screwdrivers"

is that the new slang for a lady's best friend?

Did anyone buy a Kiligon dictionary? Or buy the complete DVD version of ANY film-spin-off science fiction series, and know the names of all the actors?

That is THE definition of nerdy.

I suppose Klingon Academy could be considered my nerdiest purchase.

I will close this thread now.

bump!

Bumping a thread of so little signifigance in an on topic forum is a nono, the oppressive state police of Apolyton will see it as padding your post count.

note:Im not calling your thread insignificant to offend you, but every thread unless deemed otherwise is insignificant
